Oxbridge History and Economics. Which option should I choose?

Currently in a position of applying to either:

Oxford for History and Economics

Or

Cambridge for just History

My personal statement has a lot of economics/politics related discussion and is arguably more suited for Oxford. However, Cambridge does specifically mention how you can explore history from Economic/Political perspectives. Therefore my personal statement may be fine?

I do not do Maths A level and so I believe that this makes it much harder for me to get an offer from Oxford as it although is not a strict requirement, pretty much is.

I was wondering whether anyone had any insight about the better decision. For context I have achieved A levels A*AA with A in EPQ + GCSE's 888777777. Currently also looking at LSE Economic History and UCL History Politics and Economics (my PS was originally designed for these courses if that makes sense?).

If you haven't done Maths A-level you haven't got a hope in hell of getting for Economics.
